Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울여 향을 맡으면 글렌 엘긴답게 진한 꿀과 잘 익은 복숭아, 바닐라가 부드럽게 차오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 50.6도가 매끄럽게 입안을 적시며 두 개의 버번 호그스헤드가 남긴 토피와 시트러스, 가벼운 향신료를 풀어낸다. 1995년 증류해 23년을 보낸 이 스몰 배치는 스페이사이드 특유의 꿀 같은 단맛과 잘 익은 과일이 단단한 균형을 이룬다. 목을 넘긴 뒤에는 꿀과 오크의 고소한 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
gentle honeys, apple tarts, leafy tobacco, mineral oil and a few sooty touches. I also get some rather elegant custard made with sweet wines, pears poached in calvados and things like muesli with dried apple rings. Gentle, easy, elegant and very open. With water: drier and earthier now. More pollens, oatmeal, grass and tobacco leaf in a leather pouch
restaurant Palate
terrific richness on arrival. Thick notes of heather honey, wildflowers heavy with pollen, custard creams, soft waxes, more of these light sooty touches and things like bracken, hessian and olive oil. With water: fruity muesli, porridge sweetened with honey, lemon barley water and again these gentle, background waxy tones
timer Finish
long, lightly leathery, peppery, earthy and with quite a few sweet and fresh cereal notes
